More Come Out In Support
Filed under: Politik > George Clooney
Just like Drew Barrymore and so many other influential celebrities have been speaking out out against Proposition H8te, more celebs are showing their concern at the passing of the ban on gay marriage.
The latest to join the No On 8 campaign is super A-lister George Clooney.
In a new interview, Clooney says, "At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black."
Well said! But who knows how long that will take.
Something needs to be done now.
Equality is a right, NOT a privilege!

GC is the King of Stink!

I'm getting isck of this same old topic.

He's a sexy Old Man (Drooling Now……)
See? I can't even spell "sick"!
Oh and Also NO on 8 Discrimination is so outdated like press on nails
when will your crying end???
Yeah…Nice to see Clooney finally came out.
I like what he said, but how is he a super A lister? he hasn't had a hit movie in….well pretty much ever.
*
And I bet all those who DON'T mouth off in favour of the gays will be branded some stupid word like "hater" or "ignorant", right?
*

Get a new hang-up, will you? This is getting BORING.
seriously Perez fuckoff!
Damn, well said George!
I can't wait for this stupidity and discrimination to be OVER!
Its absolutely RIDICULOUS its gone on this far.l
Perez, you are being hypocritical. Again. You are quite possibly the most hate-filled, hate-spewing author on the Internet, yet now that your life is (theoretically) impacted you cry about how hate is wrong? Hate isn't even backing prop 8 so much as religious beliefs. You are so quick to bash anyone with an opposing view. YOU are the one being hateful. Anyway, why are you even worried about marriage when you have way way way too many personal issues to ever be able to hold down a long-term relationship? Your blog is going down the tubes with this overflowing caca. Knock it off.
Re: TwoGoofballs – HEY FUCKTARD LONGTIME NO SEE!
yawn not surprising…george is undercover gay anyways LOL
Re: NubianPrincess – AND SO IS YOUR WEAVE!!!!!!!!!!
Re: TwoGoofballs –
He's melting your brain…
It is so wonderful to see him out and about. He was never quite my type though but at any rate it's nice to see him out. I wonder whether he has a steady lover or he does like to play the field. I wonder what his type is…I'm thinking he goes for the blonde, sexy southern type or maybe the hot blonde midwest type…definitely though I'd bet blonde…
I'm tired of this equality is a right bullshit - it will eventually work itself out. The african americans didn't get desegregated overnight, and you have to wait your turn. It will come.
Old Fartoooo.

More money for the UN
White flags of surrender

More illegals, since his half auntie is still here why not more!!!!!!!
*
Then maybe after 2 terms you will get your prop!!!!!!
Civil rights issue? These celebrities are something else! Let's just all have a one big attitude of tolerance and make everything OK to do and legal. How about that? Will that make everyone happy?! Sheesh, so over it already. If you are a celebrity or not, you can't go against the voters and say all of us are outdated. funny really, go back to Italy since you don't like here anyways Mr. Clooney.
Re: ohjustshutup –
I love it. LOVE it!
HOW BOLD OF GEORGE TO BACK PROP 8! FUCKTARD CLOONEY WOULD SELL HIS OWN MOTHER!
It will take some time until this generation has all died off before there is rightful equality among citizens There are still a lot of repressed religious conservatives out there who would vote against the rights of gay citizens. The next and subsequent genrations will look back at these times and lump it in with other ridiculous unjustices, perhaps in with how black people were treated. Gay people are paying taxes just like everyone else and deserve equal rights.
FRESH!
Re: Popozao –
Equality is a right? Equality IS a right. America HAS equality. ANY man in America is allowed to marry the woman of his choice. ANY woman in America is allowed to marry the man of her choice.
>
EVERYONE HAS THAT RIGHT.
That's EQUALITY.
That's what EQUALITY means, EQUAL RIGHTS.
>
What you actually want, Mr. Disillusioned, is UNEQUAL rights so that one demographic can do something different than the other demographic.
Re: LettyB – lol give me an H give me an A give me an T give me an ER whats that spell hater…..Thats you boo boo
hopefully George won't be pushing Grandmothers around while they exercise THEIR right to protest.
didja see those lil' twinks pushin' granny around this morning. YOUR cause gets weaker with that kind of BULLSHIT.
signed
nuttin' funny about asswipes knocking granny around
Re: Genesis –
Mr. Popo, I wasn't yelling at you.
My bad, cuz it looks that way.
Anyone feel ike perezhilton.com is gettingalot worse and turning more into a gay rights site? I still love it but we all know what happent in cali, we all dont really give a shit because the voters have spoken (the same idiots who idealisticaly worship Barrak "Whats he ever done?" Obama. LESS ABOUT PROP 8!
That's great, but where was he before the election? Better late than never I guess. . .
Re: gonzo617 – AMEN!!!
Re: Genesis – you are an idiot. So you are saying that Gays should enter into straight relationships because YOUR religion says so. If you are a man, there is a way…that is part of how you are wired that determines how you feel and your capacity towards sexual/emotional love with a woman. If you are that same straight man, you trying to be with another man would be the equivalent of me trying to be with a woman. As far as "the voters resolved this" argument….civil rights should not be up for vote. It was a simple majority that passed Prop 8. A VERY simple majority. The founding principles of the constitution are to safeguard people from the tyranny of the majority. I am not against Christians…or Catholics or any other religion…because this is is NOT a religious issue. This is a legal issue. This country was founded on the ideals of religious freedom, which should protect US citizens from religious oppression….and that includes passing laws that are rooted in religion. It's called separation of church and state. Not only that but by gay marriage not being federally recognized(even IF the state recognizes the union), we lose out on over 1000 federal rights and protections from couples tax adjustments to receiving the pensions and social security of our partners.
The people have spoken - majority rules!
Re: DarrenOz – When the injustice is corrected, not before.
I want to fuck his ass. HARD.
Re: TwoGoofballs – Re: Genesis – Re: LettyB – Bored are you? Don't understand why a gay Californian is blogging about having rights taken from him? LET ME SHOW YOU THE DOOR. bye-bye
Re: gonzo617 – Nope! I am pleased Perez is blogging about having the right to marry taken from him. Frankly, it's a far more worthy subject then The Hills or the Olsens.
This country is not a democracy, its a constitutional republic, which means the rights of minorities are protected and can't be voted out of existence. That's where "inalienable rights" comes in. See also, pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness shouldn't be impeded unless it has a serious impact on the well being of others. That's where "Your right to swing your fist stops just before my nose" comes in.
Thomas Jefferson said, "It matters not whether my neighbor worships one God or twenty; it neither breaks my leg or picks my pocket". If a gay person says that marriage to a partner is part of loving god's perfect plan for their life, who are you to say they're wrong? On religious grounds neither you or the government has any grounds judge one religious rite more valid than other. And if you look at marriage as a civil contract, again religion has no say, and the government has no particular reason to deny it to some American citizens and not to others.
Freedom of religion, the law of civil contracts, and the principals protecting the unpopular people in this country were established along time ago. The matter should never have been put to vote. It was a betrayal of fundamental American values.
3 mere words sum it up: WHAT A HUNK!!!
gay marriage is NOT an issue- at least the UNION. Stop trying to take the word marriage- the traditional and historic union of heteros- and get YOUR OWN WORD. jesus. How long will you beat your head against the wall? Just get another word.
I am truly sorry it didn't pass, hey least you guys got to vote!!!!!!! We didn't here in michigan, I think clooney has a point tho, I know you are VERY passionate about prop 8 and the rt to marry, but for the love of gawd please I'm tired of ALL of these postings, you are using your site for political reasons, it's a free country but I seriously can't take much more, even tho I agree w/ a lot you've said, its over for now, EVERYONE is just gonna have to ban together be it gay,straight,black,white, just like we did w/ Obama!!! i PERSONALLY WOULD TAKE IT UP W/ HIM ONCE HE'S IN OFFICE! so FREAKIN EXCITING, i don't care so much that he's black, but he's a pres people love! i don't think in my entire 30 yrs we've had this!!!!!my advice go ahead protest but you guys NEED to get to Obama once he takes office, there's hope!I also believe that the ENTIRE country should have voted, actually I'm offended people think pep's from mich are hicks, well I'll tell you we are FAR from that!!!!!!!!!!!!! No worries someday it won't matter and I don't think it's more than a few yrs away, and also as a single straight woman at nearing 30 it's crazy to think it would devalue my marrige to a man, love is love, there are to me NO boundries!!!!!!!!!!!
Give it up Perez! Perhaps Civil Unions will soon be legal but never marriage its too related to religion. Where is your Savor Obama? He didnt get it done for you? WAH poor baby!
Hey Homos - can ONE PRO gay person answer the question: how come not blood relations, two brothers, two sisters, multiple partners - they love each other right? POINT is states regulate marriage - that's a fact - it's also a fact that PROP 8 passed - we're here, we're hetrosexual, marrige is OURS - go find something else to call two women with strap on's or two men who fuck each other up the ass - IT'S OVER - again. proving that homo's hate democracy, hate Christians, and hate people who don't think homo love normal - homos = broken people from broken homes - just a fact
Re: waterlily79 – I SERIOUSLY hope they DO let the country vote on it - that way - it will be FOREVER done - and we won't have to see two fat old dykes making out at city hall - homos know if the people vote - it will be SHOT to hell - so please - bring it before us - but you won't cause your TOO COWARDLY
Men should also have to wear nylons and dresses to work as that is also fair and equal.
I am in LOVE!!! HOT!!
I'm not feeling the "equality" thing with this.
The institute of Marraige was build and designed for the union of a man and woman like the Boy Scouts was designed for boys.
You can't cry discrimination because the boy scouts won't give you the right to join, it wasn't designed for grown men or women.
Re: ickymuffin – Well said, thank you!
GET OVER IT ALREADY UR ARE A CELEBRITY GOSSIP SITE!!! ITS CLEAR AS GLASS YOUR GAY PEREZ!! EQUAL RIGHTS BLAH BLAH WHO GIVES A SHIT!! WE DO WHATEVER WE FREAKING WANT ANYWAY HERE IN THE GO OL' USA!!!
Re: NotSoGay – How do you 'feel' about having to live your life based upon another person's religious views?
Equality is a right, NOT a privilege!
You need to change that. A better one liner would be "Equality is a right, NOT a privilege….in America". Alot of countries women don't even have the RIGHT to choose who they marry or show their face. Alot of countries citizens don't have the RIGHT to choose who runs their country. So don't try to sit here and make America and California look like the bad guy because at this moment in time you can't have every single RIGHT you want. In America equality always seems to prevail with time. As long as certain boundaries aren't crossed. Gay marriage is definately walking the line though.
GC is top dog in the canine circus that is Hollywood. I support his position on this civil rights issue but I must also voice the concerns of a former Jesuit priest who imparted many a philoshical gem to legions of satchel-clutching Laitn-lovers : "Is it biologically natural ?" He argued nay, I countered him with rebuttals of genuine class. All of the answers required to this Proposition are available in the peerless work of Morrissey and The Smiths…"This Cahmring Man", magnificent ….quelle chanson.
Get off the soapbox already. It didn't pass. It's not it's time. Good things can come from patience.
OH JUSTSHUTUP and go to another site if you dont like Perez posting people who view this horrible prop 8 as a bad thing. This is his site,and frankly if you cant respect someone gay for standing up for himself you can go to another site,you fcking ignroant hick bitch. Oh and ive hated republcians for a long time,now ive added mormons and blacks to the list.
What is so wrong with civil partnerships?! I am in no way homophobic, but i do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. If anything, equality has already been achieved between heterosexuals and homosexuals; couples with civil partnerships have exactly the same rights as married couples. Civil partnerships are just as official, and afterwards you still refer to your significant other as your husband or wife respectively. What difference does a piece of paper make anyway? If you are secure in your relationship then none of this should matter either way. But I suppose its the principle thats the issue.
Well since 69 percent of people that were under 30 voted no on prop h8te to treat gays like equals I would say thats a good thing,I will assume the 31% percent of homophobes were republican rural trash,uneducated minorities and people like the mormon cultists. Anyway since 69% of people under 30 support equal marriage rights for gays it would seem that many of the people on this site are old ,misrable rightwing trash because so much of the sentiment here is homophobic. History wont be kind to you bigoted trash ,youve ruined lives and you will eventually hide your ugly hate that you wear with a badge of pride,now. Shame on you,and no good religon will forgive the hate youve carried out in its name. Oh and fck off.
COLLIN FARRELLS THE MAN= YOU ARE THE MOST ignorant piece of shit here, do you know that Collin Farrells brother is gay and that Collin Farrell was best man at his wedding and you lowlife spout the most homophobic trailertrash shit about gays here. Oh and your other avatar "smoke the gays" which calls on killing gay people. You truly are the most disgusting piece of shit that needs to be smoked and IM sure Collin Farrell and his gay bro would agree with me. Jerk.
elephant pinocchio nose– Well you're either lying or really misinformed,but I guess if you were so misinformed you wouldn't comment with such certainty. First of all you are aware that civil unions dont offer the same benefits at all that marriage does,but if you spent a minute to google all of that you would know that ,right. Secondly you are aware that married couples for their unions get federal tax breaks,righ and many rights afforded them in a civil union. Secondly its funny that this same republican led effort to discriminate against gays is now saying civil unions are what you should be fine with,this comming from the same republicans who all through this country try to prevent gays form getting civil unions let alone civil rights. I guess a fair trade for the time being would be forget marriage in ca and give all gays in this country in all states civil unions that give them all the tax benefits state and federal and all the rights. Since the republican hate party and the mormon evil cult says they are all for civil unions lets test them on this bs line they spew. Oh and stop throwin gay people out of the military for simply being gay,join the modern western world.
jules-you have serious issues,and on of them is not having a life.
"Equality is a right, NOT a privilege!" I love this quote!
Drew B. should not be able to get married. Her quick muliple marriages make a mockery of the entire thing. She can't speak about marriage b/c she does not know what the f it is other than a publicity stunt.
ahhhhhh shut up already
I remember many celebrities campaigning against prop 8 BEFORE the vote.
Continueing the celebrity endorsements against prop 8 will do nothing, BECAUSE ITS OVER AND DONE WITH. it didnt help in the first place, and its too late to help now.
you only care about stuff that personally could affect you, otherwise ur a cynical hateful bastad perez. other ppl can have their opinions and feelings too. and just because the majority goes against ur feelings, you want to cry and cry forever.
Re: ickymuffin – So very well said Ickymuffin. I noticed Genesis has not responded to any of your posts because everything you said is absolutely right and intelligent and makes perfect sense and he has no possible arguement to refute it. They never have concrete answers, just empty religious nonsense and rhetoric. It is so nice to see that people like him are slowly dwindling away and becoming extinct. Equality for all is coming soon thank god.
[re=3099230]Re: cupcake
Damn Jules, what a sad evil little person you are. There will be gay marriage in this entire country and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, LOL
In 2000, it passed by 62%. This time 52%. It make take several years but when the vote comes up, many of the older religious zombies will have died off and there will be more younger voters and this thing will pass. None of you haters can stop change so just prepare yourselves because it is a freight train coming fast and next time you won't be able to stop it. And I for one will be laughing my ass off.
He needs to "come out" and get it over with. He's the Rock Hudson of our time. Care to dispute that?
Oh my goddess Perez, This pic soooo much reminds me of Rock Hudson. I just think why hasn't "Gorgeous George" ever really gotten serious with a woman.
I think as a lesbian with many gay friends and a lot I have lost to AIDS.
I just hope this sweet great gentleman is healthy.
And "Please Come Out Already George!"
The Miss!
Gay marriage already isn't an issue (in our lifetime) in most other civilized countries. Just cross the 49th parallel, for one. Respect diversity. Support one another. Kumbaya. Aaaaack.
